Can you also include the actual hadith please. Jazakallahu Khairan.
It is true that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) has mentioned that
women have less intelligence than men. This is recorded in Bukhari Shareef.
As far as decision making between husband and wife, the Shari’ah has made
the husband the head of the family. The wife has to obey his lawful demands.
This does not mean that he should not consult with her, or that she has no
say whatsoever in the family, but it means that time final authority lies
with the husband.
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ‘I have not seen a person
deficient in intelligence and Deen more able to overcome an intelligent man
that you, O women. The women asked, ‘What is the deficiency in our intellect
and Deen.’ Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) replied, ‘Is it not that
in testimony, your testimony is half of the man’s.’ They replied,
‘Certainly.’ He (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ‘This is due to your
deficient intellect.’
